Fresh plans have been submitted for housing at the former Police training centre on Yew Tree Lane.
The site is now owned by the government's housing agency, Homes England, who wants to build 164 new build homes on the land whilst converting North Lodge, Headmasters House, Kensington House and Library into an additional 16 homes.
In 2018, Harrogate Borough Council granted planning permission for 161 homes to be built on the site. However, since then, the land has been transferred from the Home Office to Homes England who now wants to add an extra 19 homes to the development, which is also above the 160 allocated for the site in HBC's Local Plan.
The development would keep some playing fields which Homes England says could be used by local football teams and potentially adopted and managed by HBC.
